If this team loses to UTEP they should turn down any bowl invite.  This is not a post-season caliber defense (or offense for that matter).

El Guapo is confused... You want to turn down a bowl game because ridicule might hurt your feelings? El Guapo had no idea so many of you needed safe spaces.

"North Texas is here at 5-7 after getting skull drug by UTEP in their season finale.  This is the second time they have been bowling with 5 wins..."

I fully expect the casual fan to get SUPER pumped by that

Plus we will get killed in our bowl game to finish 5-8. We are already the laughing stock of football, no reason to give them more reason to ridicule us.

So if we come back and win today to finish at 6-6 we'll suddenly be a much better team?  This talk of declining the bowl invitation is pure nonsense.

If we turn down an invite, go 5-7 - People will be disinterested in UNT. 

If we take the invite, go 5-8 - people will be disinterested in UNT. BUT...we get extra practice time. 

If we take it and go 6-7 - People might notice us a little bit more.

 

In no scenario is taking it NOT a win for our boys. It's about them, not our perception. Give those kids a chance to do something for themselves so we can all benefit from the future fruits.

Does anyone here think that Tom Herman is not going to take the Texas job because he was disappointed in losing to Memphis....SMU. and Navy?

Completely different scenario.  He's taking a dead end job based on the last two years of success...and his Houston team DID win more than 6.  

 

And '01 was different because we were conference champs

I think the issue is not North Texas, but the fact we live in a society where everyone gets rewarded. Way toooo many bowl games.. at what point does it stop ? 4 wins earn you a biRth... 3 ? Hell , some schools make the Texas state football playoffs at 1-9!!! I don't like it , but I will cheer my ass no matter what bowl we land in

I've driven to Tennessee to watch us get killed by Vanderbilt, I've listen to the dueling banjos come out of the woods near Jonesboro, I've seen the glory that is the Kibbie Dome.  I guess if this team qualifies for a bowl via NCAA rules I'll go seem them there.  

And with all seriousness you are a great alum & fan with keen insight & candor.

Has more to do with money than handing out trophies but you're right about HS playoffs.  That's absurd.

Damn right. I'll be watching it, in chat complaining, and grateful for yet another reason to get wasted and watch my team. Sure, they may be awful sometimes (most of the time). but they are MY awful team.

Nope. Don't celebrate sub-mediocrity. Win this game or call it a season.

Good point. I didn't take the $ part into consideration 

Speaking of money....we'll lose money traveling to just about anywhere other than HOD.

Really disappointed with how this team has come out for a bowl-clinching game.

The bowl clinching game was last week...don't cha know.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
